[0036] Electronic and communication devices have seamlessly integrated into modern life, fulfilling numerous daily tasks and serving as sources of entertainment. Since 2003, the mobile phone has become a pervasive product, with smartphones now being utilized by almost everyone. However, these days, smartphones have evolved into miniature computers that accompany us throughout the day. While these communication devices offer numerous advantages and simplify tasks, prolonged usage often results in the cellphone overheating. Cellphone overheating stands out as one of the most prevalent concerns among users, causing significant worry and inconvenience. Every smartphone user has encountered phone overheating at least once, attributable to a variety of factors. The frames designed and currently available on the market do not incorporate motors, cooling liquids, or propellers. Instead, the described invention is a remarkably simple device that not only serves as a cellphone charger but also enhances the natural airflow behind the cellphone case, effectively cooling the device.Technical problem

[0037] One of the concerns of Android and iPhone users is that the phone gets hot. The overheating of the phone is one of the most common problems of users, which worries them a lot. All smartphone users have at least once experienced overheating of their phone, which can be caused by various factors. Below are some of the factors that greatly affect the heating of the phone: normal heating of the phone, Bluetooth on, continuous use of Wi-Fi and data network, taking photos and videos on the phone, watching movies and series online, screen light and for this purpose, a variety of fans and coolers have been made to cool the phone and keep it healthy, but the disadvantages of these coolers are their ugly, large and space-consuming appearance, which create an unpleasant appearance. For this purpose, the designed phone frame did not use any kind of motor or cooling liquid or propeller. In addition to charging the phone, this frame has a spring capsule that is used as a phone holder in addition to cooling the phone.Solution of problem

[0038] To make a compact, high-efficiency cellphone cooler, featuring electricity generation capability, an Innovative Air Pumping Mechanism has been utilized. As per the blueprint (1 ), the assembly comprising the spring (3) and the flexible plastic cover (2) is designated as the air pump, housing the piezoelectric component (1 ), within the cellphone frame (5) lies a perforation (8), facilitating the inflow and outflow of air into and from the cellphone frame, the spring (3) is positioned within the cavity, with the plastic cover (2) resting on the spring, and the piezoelectric component(1 ) placed atop the spring, on the frame, an air valve (7) is positioned to regulate the inflow and outflow of air, and additionally, a rod (6) is affixed to the mobile frame, designed for occasions when the user opts not to engage the pump while still desiring cooling for the mobile. In such instances, the spring can be retracted, and the rod (6) can be rotated using the turning screw (9), effectively minimizing the occupied space of the frame. Moreover, there exists a gap (4) above the frame, serving as the collection point for the air pump and facilitating the flow of air.

[0039] While utilizing the air pump, the piezoelectric device integrated into the pump has the capability to concurrently generate electricity and this generated electricity can then be directed towards the battery or power bank, thereby facilitating energy conservation. In this method, electricity consumption is minimized, and space occupancy is reduced, and electricity generation occurs simultaneously.

[0040] Overview of the piezoelectric sensor: The piezoelectric sensor contains crystals within its structure that produce electricity when subjected to force or power.

[0041] Situated behind the primary frame lies a lithium battery configured as a power bank which is linked to the cellphone's charging part via a socket, and while cooling is in operation and mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy through piezoelectric means, this energy is stored within the battery, and at the user's discretion, it can then be utilized as a power bank for cooling purposes. A lithium battery with a maximum capacity of OOmAh is integrated behind the cellphone frame. This battery serves to store the electric power generated by piezoelectric. Additionally, a button is provided for the purpose of charging this battery in emergency situations.Advantage effects of invention

[0042] In the invented method, unlike the previous methods, there is no need to consume electricity to cool the mobile frame.

[0043] It is possible to cool the mobile phone and generate electricity at the same time.

[0044] It occupies little space.
